Marinated herring plays a unique role in the Swedish kitchen and a major role at all Swedish festivities; especially Christmas, Easter and Midsummer. However, herring is enjoyed in Sweden all year long in the classic Swedish smorgasbord, as part of a buffet, or perhaps as a unique appetizer. What is more, herring is an immensely healthy food, containing a high level of Omega-3's.

Wikstrom's pickled herring is a traditional sweet herring marinated in vinegar, sugar, red onions and spices.
Available in Original or with the addition of Sour Cream.

They were good but not any better than the brands at my local megamart. They pieces were also cut smaller than I like. This review is for the herrings in wine sauce.

Parents Thoroughly Enjoyed It!

I remembered having pickled herring during the holidays at home so I ordered this as a gift for my parents at Christmas. They had a meal of it with some small potatoes when the gift arrived, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Since I was unfamiliar with this Swedish brand, I had to trust that it was good, and it did not disappoint! I am sure this also reminded my parents of their time living in Sweden many decades ago.

Wikstrom Herring

I like this herring although it is not quite like the herring one can buy from the street vendors in Amsterdam.

family connection

My Grandfather, Forfar- surname--Carlson, helped this family in the cutting of the herring every pre Jul-Christmas time, he got to meet the current King Of Sweden before he died and it was one of the high points of his life, my Grandma's meat balls are better- which took me years of trial to recreate to do, but for the rest= Price korv, potatas korv, herring and Goten burg there is no other place, Taks a mika for helping me to keep my families Svenska Jul tradition alive

Just like I remember

When I was stationed in Europe in the late 80's, I used to love pickled herring, but haven't had it since. I was telling a friend how I used to love it, but couldn't find any locally. Thanks igourmet. Fast service, great product. I'm looking forward to trying more from their site. Yum.
